Summary
he knows how it sounds, he does. he knows why he got those pitying looks from any acquaintance he talked to about it, knows why he got quiet recommendations for different therapist offices around the city.
but why would he care about how it sounds? they don’t care — not really — and he doesn’t need them to.
he’s not depressed, he’s just making a choice.

Summary
Tommy was handed a small flyer in printed in black and white, with the words “POETRY NIGHT - OPEN MIC” splayed across the front in bubbled font. He fumbled with his binder as he took it, eyes wide as he said, “are you sure? I mean, I love poetry and all, but I don’t think-I’m not sure—what if I can’t write poetry?”
Mr. Sam’s dark eyes softened, and he reached out to place a hand on Tommy’s shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Everyone has to start somewhere; every poet, from me to Rudy Francisco, started off without knowing a clue about what we were doing. Tommy, it’s not about if you can or cannot write poetry, it’s about if you want to.”

Summary
Jason’s vengeful return to Gotham gets interrupted when he finds himself in a universe where he never died. Meanwhile, in the mainstream DC universe, a very confused alternate version of Jason shows up at Wayne Manor.
Sequel to “Worlds Collide” but can be read as a standalone (with an introductory author’s note giving context).

Summary
Red Robin is a name meant for greatness. It echoes of a kid that had decided to step up as a hero that Batman needed, of a teen that shouldered burden after burden without complaint—of someone that, despite the pain and the grief and the losses, held his head high.
A genius, a leader, and one of the best detectives that the world has ever seen.
Red Robin is a name with weight.
Tim, a high schooler whose last living memories involve a bridge and murky waters, can’t measure up to that.
The ghost that lurks rent free in Tim’s head with a familiar looking insignia cracked in half on his chest says otherwise.
---
or, how Tim realizes that he’s trapped in a world that’s supposed to be fictional, discovers that he somehow body-snatched a future Robin, and finds himself caught in the Bats’ orbit despite all his efforts not to (and maybe, just maybe, gets a family along the way too).

Summary
“You do understand that you’re caring for the thing meant to bring destruction and chaos to our world, right?” The woman asks, Phil looking behind him fondly as Techno grabs at the ends of his wings.
“He’s just a child.” Phil answers distractedly, humming as his wings get gently yanked at.
“He’s the first of three to destroy life as we know it! Shouldn’t we, well, get rid of him?!”
“Oh, no.” Phil raises his eyes with a sharp glare. “Believe me, I have my own way of preventing the apocalypse.”
---
Or, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy are basically chaotic forces of nature, destined from birth to end the world and bring destruction. Most who hear of the tale of them are trying their best to track them down, and to end the monsters while they’re still young, still just children.
Phil has a different plan.
(In which Phil raises the minecraft equivalents of the anti-christ with love and support, so much so to the point where the world ending is really just a funny thought, and Phil has three kids who casually have powers that are bit more extreme than anything else in the world)

“Place?”
“All of Tokyo.”
“Keyword?”
“... Prison.”
Akira smiled humorlessly, watching Ryuji's stunned expression as he passed his phone back to him.
